BLW-04EX

If you use encryption, configure the same keys used for the BLW-04EX on

each of your wireless clients. Note that the Wired Equivalent Privacy

(WEP) protects d ata transmitted between wireless nodes, but does not

protect any transmissions over your wired network or over the Internet.

Encryption

If you are transmitting sensitive data across wireless channels, you should

enable Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption.

Encryption requires you to use the same set of encryption/decryption keys

for the BLW-04EX and all of your wireless clients. You can choose between

standard 64-bit or the more robust 128-bit encryption keys.

You can automatically generate encryption keys or you can manually enter

the keys. For automatic 64-bit security, you enter a passphrase that is used

to create fou r keys (as shown below). The automatic 128 -bit security

generates a single key by entering a passphrase.
